Youth Vote War Heats Up | Jefferson City News

As midterms loom, both sides are going all-in to win the youth vote. Turning Point USA is revving up its “Pick Up the Mic” campaign—bringing back campus-style debates with a new generation of conservative speakers, aiming for 300 events this fall after 50 last spring. They’re also launching a nationwide campus tour, grooming rising voices like JD Vance and Marco Rubio as their next wave. Meanwhile, left-leaning streamer Hasan Piker, whose audience skews young, has drawn fire for allegedly mocking late Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk—just as his one-year anniversary approaches. Turning Point’s spokesperson called it unprofessional, urging more decorum from influencers. The battle for young voters is heating up, with conservatives betting on grassroots energy and fresh talent to outshine the left’s current lineup.
